Most wasted time isn't one big block, it's tiny five-minute gaps you forget you spend. Walk through a normal workday. Which small, repeating tasks do you do over and over without really noticing (circle the ones below that fit, and write in any of your own)?
The Fairy Dust You Sprinkle
Sometimes we make a task look more mysterious than it is, so we stay the only one who can do it and feel safe. Be honest: which part of your work do you quietly keep complicated so it stays yours?

Forget the tools for a second. If the repetitive stuff just got handled and your best hours opened up, what specific thing would you finally build, fix, or chase with that time (say it plainly, not as a vague goal)?
Make It Real Enough To Want
Evan's whole point is people only let go of the old way when the new one is clear, not foggy. Picture your own normal day once you're living that future from prompt three. Walk through it hour by hour: what are you actually doing, and who's handling the stuff you let go of?
The One Task To Hand Off
Pick the single most-repeated task from prompt one, the one standing between you and that future. This week, will you time it for a few days to see what it really costs you, or hand it to a tool or a person now (write which, and the exact task)?
